About Amazing YouTube for Chrome

# Amazing YouTube for Chrome This extension simplifies YouTube's user interface by removing various components that I consider to be eyesores and useless while also adding additional nice-to-have functionalities using CSS. Works with YouTube's latest UI (signed in) as of the most recent update date. ## List of UI Elements Removed ### Across YouTube - Scrollbar - Shorts, Originals, YouTube Music, Your clips, and Your videos buttons from the sidebar - Subscriptions, More from YouTube sections from the sidebar - Voice search and create button from the header ### Home page - Suggested filters below the header - All shelves in home page suggestions (Shorts, etc.) ### Watch page - Annotation - Suggested filters above the up next column - Text labels from buttons in the video details section, more flexible items that were usually hidden will now have space to show up - Clip and super thanks buttons removed from video details section ## List of UI Elements Added - Picture-in-picture button on video player (which YouTube has built-in but is hidden)
